Padraig Harrington believes the pack aiming to chase down runaway Open Championship leader Brian Harman do not need to panic as they get their third rounds underway at Royal Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

American Harman, the world number 26, held a five-stroke lead on 10 under par at the halfway stage of 2023’s final major and ahead of his 3.30pm tee-time in the final group of the day alongside second-placed local hero Tommy Fleetwood.
